Define the exact distance between components and choose how the plugin handles corners or ends.
: Unlike the native "Follow Me" tool, you can adjust settings without redrawing.
The plugin automatically handles complex corner mitering, junctions, and slope orientations. It prevents the twisting and geometry tearing common with native SketchUp tools. 5. Quantification and Cost Estimating DM Profile Builder 2 Plugin for Sketchup
While this tool is powerful, it isn't for everyone. However, if you fall into any of these categories, it is a :
Posts automatically place themselves upright, even on steep slopes or stairs. Define the exact distance between components and choose
Don't just draw lines. Use the PB2 Path Tool to select edges from existing geometry to "trace" your profiles onto them.
If the library doesn't have what you need, the allows you to draw any custom 2D shape in SketchUp and convert it into a reusable PB2 profile. You can also define the material, layer, and even the orientation of the profile relative to the path. It prevents the twisting and geometry tearing common

Advanced users noted that circles in the default library are generated with a fixed 24 edges. For large projects (like miles of highway railing), this high poly count can cause system lag. The plugin lacks a native "precision slider" for circles, though users often create custom profiles with fewer edges to serve as proxy geometry.
